I've decided I want to work on several projects that I'm putting together for my best friend that I plan on giving her when I see her Saturday afternoon. One of these things is a special mixtape. What I want to do is put together a collaboration of various songs that show her how much I value her friendship as my best friend.

 

The problem is, I'm having trouble finding songs lyrically that truly express what I feel about the topic. It may be just that I'm having a brain freeze, or that a good chunk of my music doesn't have lyrics that can be interpreted in such a manner. If there are any suggestions you can make as far as a friend song goes, I would be forever grateful. I'm trying to make these mini-projects very special for her, as I'm seeing her the day after her high school graduation (the same high school which I myself graduated from two years earlier).

 

Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Ok, I think I have something for you :

This song really reminds me of my best friend!

 

This one immediately came to me when I read your post but I may think on other songs later.

I think your idea of creating a mixtape to show your friend how much you value your friendship is a very cute idea! I hope you'll find enough songs for that as I think it's not that easy... Well, here are the three songs that came to my mind:

That's the one that immediately came to my mind when I read your post... Of course it isn't suitable for every situation, but I think at least the chorus should fit :)

I knew you'd post that! :lol:

 

 

I also suggest Snow Patrol:

The music might not be everyone's cup of tea but the lyrics pretty much fit your intention, I think. :nice:

I support this :cool:

Did you manage to put a good mix together, then? :awesome:

I'm glad you asked. I had to put some major thought to it and make a slight adjustment to my original plan, but I was able to make a suitable mixtape for her. It was quite successful. Thanks to all of you for your help. :)

I wish I could have helped. Nothing was coming to mind, sawwy.
